      Applying Species Modifiers

      Once you have your base Ability Scores, apply your species’ bonuses. Some species grant fixed bonuses (e.g., +2 Dexterity), others allow flexible distribution (e.g., +1 to any ability).

      These reflect biological and cultural traits unique to each race in the Star Wars galaxy.

      Ability Modifiers

      Each score has a corresponding modifier, which you add to rolls for attacks, skills, saves, and more:
